The flare jean is back! After a long few years of skinny jeans, NY fashion week last spring showcased the flare jean for a Fall 2011 look. After models tore up the look on the runway, celebs have been seen wearing the 70’s chic pant on the streets. Just look at Gwyneth Paltrow, Gisele Bündchen and Zoë Saldana:

I’ve been a huge fan of skinny jeans because they allow you to show off your boots–one of my all time favorite looks is a skinny jean with a classic leather riding boot–but I have to admit I’m a little excited the flare jean is making a come back. Flare jeans are pretty flattering, especially in a darker wash. By adding a heel under your flare, you can make your legs appear longer, thus looking a bit slimmer which is always a plus! You can be pretty flexible in what top you pair with flare jeans–as you can see above the look can be completed with a blazer, casual shirt, or tucked in oxford and look great all ways. The style is back and I think adding a pair of flares to your wardrobe is a must for this fall!
